Doom fans, here is something really special for you today. Lee Hardcastle has shared this incredible claymation tribute to all the Doom games. This is easily the best thing you’ll see today. So, waste no time and watch it.
This fan video shows all the Doom games, from the classic ones to Doom: The Dark Ages. It brings enemies and gameplay to life with awesome claymation. And, as you will see, it’s a piece of art.
For instance, in the Doom: The Dark Ages segment, you get to see the player using the shield and some of the melee weapons. For Doom: Eternal, we get to see the sword that was exclusive to it. And for the classic Doom games, we get to see our beloved enemies (as well as the rabbit).
This fan film is really awesome and totally deserves more attention. It’s not the first time we’ve shared something cool like this either. Back in 2020, we showed pictures of someone recreating the Nvidia GeForce 256 graphics card using LEGO. We also shared a fun video that showed what a LEGO Assassin’s Creed game might look like.
Speaking of Doom, I recently finished Doom: The Dark Ages. Tech-wise, I was amazed by what id Software managed to create. Path Tracing can also greatly enhance the game’s graphics. Still, if you don’t have a high-end GPU, Doom: The Dark Ages uses RTGI, and that is enough to get a great image quality, even without PT. Plus, DLSS 4 MFG works wonderfully in this title.
Aside from its tech, what impressed me about Doom: The Dark Ages was its huge enemy crowd. Finally, we have a new Doom game that has lots and lots of enemies on screen. This was one of my biggest issues with Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. So, I was happy to see huge hordes of enemies on screen. Not only that, but the game was not stuttering at all, even when displaying such a huge amount of characters.
My biggest gripe with Doom: The Dark Ages, though, was its combat changes. To put it simply, it did not feel like a Doom game. I get it that id Software wanted to experiment. However, it would make more sense to make Doom: The Dark Ages feel and play like a new “modern” Doom 64 game. Now THAT would be something that would please a lot of Doom fans.
Anyway, enjoy the claymation video and stay tuned for more!

Nicely done claymation DOOM stuff ! Incredible work done by lee. Thanks for sharing.
PS:
BTW, almost forgot my old GeForce 256 graphics card LEGO article ! LOL. 😮
….
"tribute to all Doom games"
it's a tribute specifically to the new games (Doom 2016 and sequels). the only reference to the older games is the overview map with the "You are here" arrow advancing from level to level.
Was about to comment this as well. Seconded. They also skip Doom 3, the bastards. Worth a chuckle but i coudn't be bothered to finish the video. Kinda pi$ses me off how they don't even bother to glance over the art style and mechanics of the classics, is he sponsored by Microsoft or something?
The door opening sound effect at the beginning was from classic DOOM.
Edit: Specifically the second door.
What's with the meow meow
Nicely done claymation DOOM stuff ! Incredible work by lee. Thanks for sharing. Total dope.

PS:
BTW, didn't realize I once wrote that article on a GeForce 256 graphics card LEGO stuff back then ! Hehe. 😲😄

Yes you did xD
"My biggest gripe with Doom: The Dark Ages, though, was its combat changes. To put it simply, it did not feel like a Doom game."
Not one of the Doom games post 2016 "feels" like Doom. Even the "Half-Like" Doom 3 gets closer to the mark in comparison. Not necesarily a bad thing but most people struggle to come to grips with reality.
Loved the original Doom games. The more recent not so much.
Last one is the most colourful stüpidity I've ever seen the name DOOM related to!
It just svcks!
I was impressed….. thanks for sharing! Who cares that Doom 3 was ignored. Back when it was released people complained about it being just monster-closets and jump scares over and over. Funny how the lens of time changes perceptions. I for one, love Doom: The Dark Ages and glad this video makes a point to highlight it.
I still have the Doom 3 CD as well as the Resurrection of Evil expansion pack
In 1993 I was still in college for Electrical Engineering and worked part time for Gateway Computers. AutoCAD 12 (MSDOS 3.3) had come out and you needed at least a 486DX to run it with a 486DX-100 recommended so I installed 25 new 486DX-100 computers in the lab they used for teaching AutoCAD and also used by the EEs to run SPICE circuit simulations. So I installed the shareware version of Doom on all of them but you had to know where to look to find it. So I held a couple of Doom LAN parties under the guise of installing the software on the new machines. It wasn't the first Doom LAN party (I got the idea from a USENET post) but it was one of the first.
Freakin' Super cool! This is actual cinema. Better than that lame Superman movie.Thanks for sharing John.
Well done!!!
Saved for later view!
